Ethics: Approaching Moral Decisions (Contours of Christian Philosophy)

Ethics. What is good? What is right? How can we know what we ought to do? Arthur F. Holmes examines some of the major approaches to ethics, including cultural relativism, emotivism, ehtical egoism and utilitarianism. He then outlines a Christian ethic and applies it to four moral issues: human rights, criminal punishment, the legislation of morality, and sexual behaviour.
